Graphic illustration Project with Vault49

Last month I collaborated with Vault49 to photograph some cool 3D illustrations. Here is the series. I love the 3 Dimensional look. My part in the process was pretty small. It mainly consisted of controlling the feel of the shadows, managing the depth of field...and getting some super high resolution quality, so all that illustration detail would pop.

If you click on the first shot, then you will go to the series on their website.

You see all my beautiful gear. The Hasselblad H3D 39 Megapixel with 150mm lens, and one of my canon cameras (my other Canon probably took the shot!).

Me on a ladder.

One More New Photo from My Alina Vacariu Shoot

Here is one more shoot of the beautiful Alina Vacariu. This one is a little patriotic. I have a lot more photos from my shoots with Alina, from pretty to fashion to sexy. They can be seen "Almost Nude", "Fashion" , "Fashion 2" and "Wig".

Enjoy!

Alina Vacariu Nude...Almost

Way back in June I told everyone that I had a new Alina Vacariu shoot and posted the 1 shot directly below. Many of you have written patiently waiting as I bragged it was hot! For the record, I was waiting as well. Alina and I selected our favorites, the agents got involved, we all traveled to different places, worked a lot....time flies. The good news is the agents didn't cut anything and we got some beautiful natural light shots of Alina.

Here is the shot I posted back in June. Alina and I have shot together a couples and you can see some more fashion and beauty photos here and here.

Here are 3 very similar shots of Alina Vacariu almost nude. Not that you need me to say it, but I was there. Alina is beautiful in person; sexy. We had a really had time choosing a favorite. Any thoughts on 1,2,or 3?

(click photos to make a little larger)

For those of you who are tech photography junkies like me, the lighting was just simple window light behind Alina and whatever light was bouncing around my studio. I shot with my Canon 1DS Mark III at ISO1600 (It wasn't as bright as it looked!) at 1/125 sec at F1.4 on the Canon 85mm 1.2 lens. This is part of my natural light series.

Enjoy!

Mademoiselle HK Campaign Photos

I posted the lead shot from the Mademoiselle HK shoot back on the 5th, but I am finally able to post the entire series. I will also post some more shots in the upcoming weeks of the campaign itself. I just got in 2 snapshots of the photos all blown up in the stores. I will try to post them tomorrow.

Martha Hunt from Next Model Management.... which besides being a model I love (you saw her twice before in my Susana Monaco shoots; Black & White and Balloons and Shadows), it was also a really timely choice for the China and Hong Kong market. She was just on the cover of Chinese Vogue at the end of the summer, right before our campaign hit China.

Makeup by Yuko and hair by Wesley from the Wall group. The styling was by Marcell Rocha of Workgroup. We shot it in my Manhattan studio with Hasselblad H3D 39 Megapixels and Profoto lighting. I changed up the lighting a little bit, sometimes playing with more shadow versus sometimes using spotlight in the back.

thanks!

The Beautiful Edyta Zajac

I came across some photos of Edyta Zajac on Supermodels.nl and thought I would add my own shot of her here. This was the second time I photographed her. The first was for an editorial years ago which I will have to track down. This shot surprisingly is from an old Susana Monaco catalog before the re-branding.

Edyta is one hot Polish model. Super sweet. I haven't spoken to her in quite some time.

The shot was done at my old place in Brooklyn. The wall are covered in painted canvas to look real. I used my Hasselblad H2D-39 megapixel; ISO200 with an 80mm lens on a tripod, F2.8 with a slow 1/15sec. I mixed natural light with maybe a KinoFlo Diva light....At least I think it was. It has been too long and I don't always mark down my lighting!

Thanks
